We had a picnic at sunset. With candles and a roast chicken and rosemary-black-pepper-parmesan couscous and a green salad and grapes. On the roof.
We watched the sky turn twilight colors and then watched the twilight colors give way to blackness above us and the orange lightfog of Times Square and of New Jersey around the edges. We watched planes go over our heads. We listened to the sounds of the city (ice cream truck, unseen neighbor practicing pennywhistle, arguments, helicopter, cruise ship’s bellowing horn) and felt the breeze and lay back on big pillows we’d lugged up the stairs from the apartment.
Nice, says I.
How was your evening?
(By the way: happy Transit-of-Venus Day. Hope those of you in a position to do so get to enjoy it.)
